Kay Arthur, Author of Over 100 Books and Bible Studies, Passes Away at 91

If there is only one thing that will be remembered about Kay Arthur, the founder of Precept and a gifted Bible teacher who inspired countless people to read and study God���s Word inductively, it���s this: She loved the Word of God. And because of her love for God���s Word, she loved what we do here at Answers in Genesis, the Creation Museum, and the Ark Encounter.

She leaves behind a life well lived for the Lord and a legacy of teaching others to love, study, and apply God���s Word to their liv...

Did Intelligence Evolve ���At Least Twice���?

Humans have a unique level of intelligence. Although some people vehemently deny that humans are unique, it���s obvious even to a child that we are totally different from everything else. (After all, when was the last time you saw a group of elephants sitting around having a deep philosophical discussion?) But the unique intelligence of humans doesn���t mean animals aren���t intelligent���God has gifted many of them with impressive intellectual abilities.

A recent article highlighted the intelli...

World���s Largest and Smallest Dogs Meet���And Illustrate Biblical Truth

Last month, a dog ���playdate��� was in the news because the world���s tallest dog and the world���s shortest dog met for the first time. And, well, it was quite the contrast!

Reggie, the world���s tallest living dog, is a 3'4" Great Dane. Pearl, the world���s shortest living dog, is a 3.6" chihuahua. She���s the size of a dollar bill and is absolutely dwarfed by the gangly Reggie. Now, why am I reporting on this ���feel good��� dog story?

Well, it���s a great example of variety within a kind!

Yes, ���Science Is Good��� but Not the Way BioLogos Thinks

BioLogos is an organization that exists to try to convince Christians to add evolution and millions of years into the Bible. Recently they published ���An Open Letter to People of Faith About Science��� in which they announced their new ���Science is Good��� initiative. Now, I agree���science is good. Scientific discovery is a gift from our Creator. But when I say ���science is good,��� I don���t mean the same thing as BioLogos!

BioLogos begins their open letter by lamenting the growing distrust...

A Catastrophic Anniversary: 3 Lessons Mount St. Helens Still Teaches

Scientists knew it was only a matter of time. And on May 18, 1980, their predictions came true: Mount St. Helens, a geologically active volcano in Washington state, violently blew its top as steam spewed with the force of 20 megatons of TNT. The largest observed landslide in recorded history was immediately triggered, and a volcanic blast decimated 230 square miles in seconds. It was a catastrophe for life, property, and the pristine wilderness on the slopes of the mountain. And it still teache...

Kids Still Free in 2025

Once again, kids 10 and under receive free admission to the Creation Museum and Ark Encounter this year. It���s all part of our commitment to help families raise up godly offspring and be equipped to impact generations with the truth of God���s Word and the gospel.

Some families tell me they come to the Ark and Creation Museum every year because their children learn and understand more each time as they grow in spiritual maturity. Some tell me they come multiple times a year because their family...

Are Native American Histories Accurate?

You may not think, at first glance, that an article about the oral traditions of the Picuris Pueblo, a small tribal nation in New Mexico, would have anything to do with Answers in Genesis. But new genetic research into the Picuris Pueblo people confirms something very interesting���and ties in with new AiG research.

First, the story. The oral traditions of this tribal nation state that they descended from ancient North American ancestors, specifically those living in ancient pueblo sites in Nort...
